When I guest blog or interview on other blogs, I always try to respond individually to each commenter and I just started really checking out their sites, too. This has been a slow idea of what I should do, but I think it's a good one. I think it's important to reciprocate, add a personal touch, pay it forward. It nourishes friendships when you do.Margay Leah Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490126898758440254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-3523762356904949862009-01-08T06:28:00.000-06:002009-01-08T06:28:00.000-06:00My 3G isn't working any more at work.
